During World War II, Steve Rogers volunteered to receive the experimental Super-Soldier Serum. Enhanced to the pinnacle of human physical potential and armed with an unbreakable shield, he became Captain America. After a failed mission left him encased in ice for decades, he was found and revived by the Avengers, later joining their ranks and eventually becoming the team's leader.
ha!! he is not he was 18 when he joined the army he fought in war world II frozen right before the end of it. the war lasted 6 yrs.. he would have bn 24 when he joined the Avengers assuming he didnt join between the war but at the start of the war.

And in the official entry on Captain America in the official mavel handbook, it says he was in his mid thirties in the Avengers

unless cap tooka few yrs of after being unfrozen the math dont add up, besides i would think the movie would be based on cap and his origin an not so much about his future adventures..
Even if it is the original, he would still be in his mid twenties.
He became Captain America before the USA joined the war, and then spent years training before he was first deployed. And he didn't get frozen until 1945, after having fought for three odd years.
imo i'd have to go with Matt Damon. he's shown that he can do great action scenes(bourne series) and he's got the acting skill to do Steve rodgers justice.
just because he was good in bourne doesn't make him qualified to play cap. Having one good movie (or series) doesn't mean jack. Everyone loved Eddie Murphy in the Nutty professor movies, but he wasn't hot stuff in Norbit.
everyone mentioned so far would not even be in the running for the job. No one at Marvel would consider any of these picks. Also I hope whoever mentioned John Cena was joking.
Paul Walker- we could do better
Christian Bale- he is not going to play another Superhero anytime soon
John Cena- OH MY GOD HOW HIS NAME EVEN CAME UP I DO NOT KNOW
Ben Affleck- No. Just no. Do another DareDevil if you want but thats it.
I think that Brendan Fraser from The Mummy would be a good Captain America. I he had his hair dyed blonde for the film, then it'd be a spitting image of Steve Rogers.
@Moomin123: you know that would be an good pick. He was good in the mummy. Just have to look past him playing a caveman in a Paulie Shore movie, but he's grown past those roles.
I take back my Brendan Fraser idea. I think John Barrowman (he's expressed interest in the role) or Matt Damon. Randy Orton from WWE would make a good Cap as well. Mark Wahlberg would be good (I wanted him to play Hal Jordan in the new Green Lantern film, but since that's out of the question he might as well have a shot at Cap).
Basically, any of these people will be an awesome Cap in my perspective.
I am casting my bid for Jensen Ackles... he has the right look ffor the Job, plus he is a pretty talented actor. Supernatural is a really good show and I think he has the screen presence to boss around Thor and Iron Man.
I want someone who can act for this role. This is a period piece set in the 1940s, so I want someone convincingly enough to do this. More importantly, when they do the Aengers movie whoever is playing that role has to keep the same mind set as a 1940s American in Modern Time. I can't stress how important this is for the Avengers Movie.
